Again.. let's go over the facts, ONE MORE TIME:
"Elements of an IED
IEDs consist of a variety of components that include an initiator, switch, main charge, power source, and a container. IEDs may be surrounded by or packed with additional materials or “enhancements” such as nails, glass, or metal frag- ments designed to increase the amount of shrapnel propelled by the explosion. Enhancements may also include other elements such as hazardous materials. An IED can be initiated by a variety of methods depending on the intended target. "

Now... the most common devices used for INITIATING DETONATION are those which inherently include a power supply. The two most common examples of such devices are: Digital Clocks and Cell Phones... (With Cell Phone being the MOST common, because they include a CLOCK, which serves to initiate at a pre-determined time AND allow for initiation at will.)
FTR: the elements of an IED which Ahmed brought to school are indicated in Bold Red, above.
There's no switch, there's no charge, there's no initiator.
So you've got it down to a battery and a container. Which would include any wrist watch. Any ipod. Any cell phone. Any laptop. Any calculator. Any electronic device whatsoever.
Remember, Keyes.....you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. On this topic or any other we've discussed.
You know the whole thing could have been inert and it still would have caused the same exact problem,and the same exact end result.
The cops wanted to know if the kid did it to instill fear.
